ENVE Minnaar Bar V2

WHAT IS IT?

An updated version of the signature handlebar for Downhill World Champion Greg Minnaar

WHO IS IT FOR?

Three-Time Downhill World Champion Greg Minnaar... and anyone else that strives to ride like he does

WHY DID WE MAKE IT?

Greg Minnaar mentioned that he wanted to update the geometry on the venerable Minnaarbar. Designing, prototyping, and manufacturing rims and components under one roof in Ogden, UT means requests like this can actually be realized in a timely manner.

PEOPLE ARE SAYING…

"I wanted a bar with a higher rise to eliminate using as many spacers below the stem, so we heightened the rise from 23mm to 28mm. The major change to the Minnaarbar is the tip and sweep, I want to be more relaxed in an aggressive position on the bike, to achieve this we straightened up the bar to a 7 deg sweep and slightly adjusted the tip to 4.5 deg for a stronger and more comfortable wrist position."

Being a three-time UCI Downhill World-Champion takes more than dedication, it takes fastidious preparation and attention to details. Details like having a carbon fiber handlebar custom for your preferred position and needs. The Minnaar Bar was custom built in our Ogden, Utah Dark6 R&D lab at the request of Greg himself. This custom DH handlebar is constructed of 100% uni-direction carbon fiber to achieve a very high strength to weight ratio. While the extra width is a nice addition for a rider with a long wingspan, the real performance advantage of this carbon downhill bar lies in the custom laminate that dampens vibrations and reduces hand pump and fatigue helping riders stay at the top of their game from the start house to the finish line.
